The Truman Show is full of so many little details that have turned the 1998 film into a cult classic.
The movie, which is now streaming on Netflix, follows Truman Burbank unknowingly living on a giant TV set while his every move is broadcast to the outside world for entertainment.
The only reality he knows has been constructed to maintain the lie of the 24-hour-a-day TV phenomenon, and everyone he knows - from his wife to his closest friends - is a paid actor.
It creates the feeling of a very lonely existence, driving viewers cheer on Jim Carrey's character as he begins to piece it all together.
But it's a moment that never made the final cut that might reassuringly prove that not everything in his life was simply an act for the cameras.
Throughout the film, Truman turns to his best friend Marlon as his closest confidant and there's signs that the relationship between the pair is genuine.
In a film script shared on Daily Script, there's an additional scene between the friends after Truman sneaks away and the actors are mobilised to find him, which appears to have been cut later on.
Before Truman can make it to the boat in a bid to escape, he narrowly avoids detection by a search party before coming face-to-face with a straggler from the group - Marlon.
The script says: "Truman freezes in front of his childhood companion - Marlon instantly seeing through Truman's homeless disguise.
"Truman glances nervously in the direction of the searchers. Their backs to the two men, they are beginning their next sweep. One shout from Marlon will give Truman away - he is at Marlon's mercy.
"Without a word, Marlon walks past Truman and rejoins the search. Truman glances back to Marlon's retreating figure but Marlon never looks back."
After the find was shared on Reddit, fans were left conflicted as to whether the moment should have been kept in the finished film.
One said: "This would have been a great scene to keep in the movie to prove that Marlon really cared about his friend Truman."
A second argued: "I think it's interesting and all, but axing it kept Marlon true to his character and I think it could have cluttered things up had it been kept."
Another added: "From other deleted scenes it says he was a child actor who was placed into the role without knowing entirely what it meant and in other scenes in the movie he seems conflicted about lying to Truman constantly."
